Chapter 23 - Chapter 17: The first trial

Upon arriving at San bakar's tower I meet with professor Rackham's portrait.

" What happened out there?" Questions Rackham curious about the voices he heard.

" A fallen angel and some stray exorcists had some family hostage as well as some female fallen. They were pretty beat up so I had Deek take the muggle family to a police station while the female fallen were taken to my home. " I say before leaning over and vomiting outside the tower.

" I take it it's your first kill?" He asks.

" No, just not really used to it." I say telling the truth, there are two other piles of bile were I killed the death eaters. Taking a life is different from any game and if you say no it's not you need to be checked out.

" No it never gets easy to deal with this feeling. The guilt will eat at you constantly, but you must numb yourself and take it in small steps, preferably away from the battle. " Says Rackham," the keepers have had their fair share of blood on our hands. Even now as a portrait I still remember some of the people I had to kill. "

I understand his words, I have the gacha system, not a gamer system that dulls my more extreme emotions. I have to be able to come to terms or I won't be around for long. I nod at professor Rackham as he tells me about the first trial. I head down the stairs and activate the pool of magic opening the doorway. I step through to a large corridor and a large door. I walk through it and open the door to a expansive room with a curled staircase leading down and a large balcony across from me over a empty chasm. I walk down the stairs and activate the ancient magic forming the bridge.

After crossing the bridge to the arched balcony I see another set of doors this time guarded by the pensieve protectors. As the statue come to life I start to cast spells at the smaller ones but for the two big ones I use the expelliarmus/ ancient throw combo dealing heavy damage to them. After about five minutes I defeat the last statue with a confringo curse blowing off its head.

I open the doors and see the second part of the trial. Using accio and summoning the floating platform to me. I hop on and use accio to move the platform to the archway and the next ancient magic spot. Activating it I cross the archway and finish the puzzle as the room changes. It's honestly shocking that magic can do this sort of thing. On one side is a completely different room than the other but the platform remains solid. It's like a spacial magic or illusion made solid.

Continuing on and defeating my next set of foes as well as completing the next puzzle set I come to the pensieve guardian room. Two sentinels and four sentries greet me and the fight begins. As the arena is surrounded by an ancient magic barrier. Using leviosa, to juggle the smaller sentries as I fire diffendo charms and confringo charms on the sentinels. Almost losing my head to a sword I cast a ancient magic implosion on a sentinel but I also used a boost with it creating a small vortex destroying two sentries that were to close as the ancient magic implosion crumbles them to dust.

After the fight the pensieve guardian is awakened. The guardian is at least twenty feet tall the ancient magic coursing through it is astounding to my senses. Dodging ancient magic bullets it fires from its shockwave stomp and damaging the charging energy balls. I drop it on its knees and use ancient magic mixed with P.O.D creative a severing lightning bolt that literally eats through its armor exposing a giant ancient magic core. The guardian is using the remnant of its armor and slowly putting it back together as I use divide on its core causing it to seize and kneel as it took damage. Using my last bit of ancient magic/ boost/ POD. I create a giant bolt of lightning coming straight down onto the guardians head completely erasing it from existence.

" I'll call that combo heavens fury, and the boosted ancient implosion, black hole" I say chuckling. I'm probably going to need to train on these mixture attack.

I view the memories in the pensieve and gain the artifact for the final repository. As I leave and enter back into the map chamber I see Charles Rookwood there. They congratulate me on completing the trial and Rookwood tells me more about the deposits of ancient magic in the outside world. I told them of the boost/ ancient magic combo I done and see them nod.

" Yes, I figured that would happen. You see ancient magic in theories point it towards true magic. Magic that the gods use to even the very fabric of the world uses. Let lines or dragon viens are the greatest areas for ancient magic to be found. Hogwarts valley is on a ley line same as all other Magical schools. " Says Rackham," Japan is the largest ley line with several spots being right on the surface. Kyoto and Okinawa are two of the larger spots. Another anomaly is the Town that is known as Kuoh. It's so close to the surface that one could possibly use ancient magic like never before even opening up the world to what's beyond. The demensional gap, the void, even other worlds past the gap could be reached theoretically by ancient magic. "

"So it's like the very building block of the universe I'm using or an aspect." I say as they nod.

I leave the map chamber thinking of the new information I received. Ancient magic is like the true magic in the fate series. I could deal with the impossible and make it possible. Change a history by being in the present or something like that. Another example is the magic language of eragon that magic has a name for everything and if one learns of it they could use it. Could this magic be that powerful like they say or is it something I shouldn't fool with. Hell I might fucking rip a tear in the universe and connect it to 40k Warhammer's immaterial plane. Yeah no Chaos gods here please, I'm just not going to fool around until I learn more or get a skill from the gacha.

I arrive back to the common room and head to my dorm. As I lay down I draw my free gacha since it's like 3 in the morning.
